Hello! Name is Sierra and I just had a really quick question about my future major of choice. I'm 29 and I'm going back to college after about 3 years off. I graduated community college but didn't transfer directly to college at that time. Instead I chose to accept a job offer I had received which pushed any ideas of going straight to university out the window for the time being. I decided to go back and I really want to major in biology so I can then go on to graduate school to earn my Master's degree in a specialized area of biology. The thing is though I have no biology background whatsoever really. Okay yes I took maybe the bio introductory courses but I really don't remember a lot from them to be honest. Basically my question is do I have to have a decent understanding of biology already when starting as a junior in college in order to be successful in class? Can I begin classes without any of the basic knowledge of biology and work my way up and still be successful? Or should I wait until I have some decent knowledge of the subject and prepare myself more before I even think about beginning classes to earn my bachelor's degree in biology? Thanks guys

Don't wait. I would suggest picking up a grade 12 biology textbook, or a grade 11 advanced-level textbook. In addition, you'll need to touch up on your chemistry too.

This can all be accomplished within two months.

What bio-man said. Pick up an Intro to bio and chemistry book and go from there. You'll have to take General Bio and Organic Chemistry 1&2 I believe. There is a lot of work involved, but you can do it!
